Prohibition times coincide with the Golden Era (Roaring Twenties), alcohol is the most dangerous and harmful drug that is massively consumed. It should be completely banned

Prohibition was nothing but a tax scheme by Progressives.

Let me splain

Progressives attempted to pass a Federal Income tax in the late 1800's but the Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional.


Undaunted, as Progressives always are, they simply hatched a scheme to add it to the Constitution.

So they teamed up with evangelicals to outlaw alcohol.

For you see, the Federal government was financed through alcohol sales. So they reasoned that to gain the support of evangelicals for the Federal Income tax, all they needed to do was support the evangelicals support cause of outlawing alcohol. So they convinced them that if they first agreed to Prohibition, they would first need to pass the Federal Income tax to help continue to finance the Federal government. So that is what happened, they first replaced the revenue from alcohol with a federal income tax, and then passed Prohibition.

However, Progressives had no intention of making Prohibition work as you had Congressmen openly having bootleggers come into the Capital to sell alcohol to them, and made a minimal effort to enforce the laws, much like Progressives refuse to enforce illegal immigration laws. In other words, they let Prohibition fail with the premise that you can't enforce it.

So they resumed the tax on alcohol along with the Federal Income tax. Progressives essentially doubled their revenue through their lies and deceit.

There were 25.000 speakeasies in NYC alone. So there was plenty of alcohol during the 20s. Now you know.

I do not think so. At that time, the right was mostly in power, and the abolition roughly coincides with the arrival of the left and the next leftist crisis.

You're post isn't clear ... is it electricity you're looking to prohibit?
Electrification seems to have been a phase of the Golden Years of Prohibition. This is a poster from the 20s
 
in those days, gramophones came to houses, and Americans danced a lot

 
They also began to buy cars en masse. I heard then fashionable was Ford T

Teddy Roosevelt was one of the forefathers of Progressivsm, and he was a Republican.
 
You can ban certain drugs but you can't ban alcohol simply because it's a byproduct of natural fermentation. The ironic thing is that it's legal to make beer and wine but it's still (pardon the pun) technically illegal to distill alcohol even for personal use.

It's okay, heroin is also an analogue of the natural neurotransmitter endorphin. If you talk like that, nothing can be forbidden

It's already good
